The host opened the scoring through Rozaimi Abdul Rahman, which is his third in the tournament. And the score remained until the break.
Myanmar came back in the second half with a more organized approach. Though, the Ong Kim Swee's boys were too strong at every area. As the visitor was running out of time, Malaysia added their second goal from an unexpected solo move by Junior Eldstal.
About 25,000 fans turned up at the stadium to provide the encouragement to the Malaysian team, with Ultras Malaya singing their undivided supports throughout the match. The win was a perfect gift to the country as they celebrate Malaysia Day on Monday.
